AMALGAMATION OF SONA STAMPINGS LIMITED (SSL) WITH THE COMPANY

Keeping in view the benefits arising out of better business synergies, reduced cost and tax advantage etc., the Board of Directors of the Company had through resolutions passed on 15th May, 2013 and 1st June, 2013, approved of a Scheme of Amalgamation ("Scheme") between SSL and the Company. The said Scheme was sanctioned by the Hon'ble High Courts of Delhi and Chandigarh on 16th April, 2014 and 28th April, 2014 respectively. The Orders of the Hon'ble High Courts have been filed with the Registrar of Companies on 27th May, 2014. The said Scheme has also been approved by various capital market regulators viz. SEBI, Stock Exchanges and Depositories. Accordingly, SSL stands merged with the Company with effect from the appointed date i.e. 1st April, 2013. The standalone financial results of the Company for the financial year ended 31st March, 2014 thus comprised the financials of SSL also.

 

a)     Pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation (‘the Scheme’) of erstwhile Sona Stampings Limited with the Company under Sections 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 sanctioned by Hon’ble High Courts of Delhi and Punjab and Haryana on 16th April, 2014 and 28th April, 2014 respectively, entire business and all assets and liabilities of Sona Stampings Limited were transferred and vested in the Company effective from April 01, 2013.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

During FY14, despite persistent macro-economic challenges and dampened consumer interest, Sona Koyo Steering Systems Ltd.’s strategic focus and controlled operations helped it to emerge stronger and better placed to take advantage of future growth in the domestic as well as the global automotive industry. To counter the decline in sales of Passenger Vehicles (PV) by 6.05% – a decadal low – according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the company re-emphasized operations and aligned them to a new market focus. The company coupled backward integration with localization to achieve reduction in raw material cost. Simultaneously, the Company decreased its dependence on the PV segment by expanding presence in new segments, such as the off-highway segment, and promising global markets, such as USA, on the back of patented, indigenously-developed Electric Power Assist Module technology (EPAM).

 

Sona Koyo also continued to build relationships with existing clients while adding on new customers globally. Their columns division notably notched-up top MNCs, Isuzu and Renault, as customers, and the work on new product development for supply to these customers is progressing well. With their relentless focus on supply chain streamlining and new product development, coupled with technical tie-ups with global majors, Sona Koyo is now more resilient than ever and confident about the future.

 

 

ECONOMIC SCENARIO

 

GDP growth in South Asia continued to be constrained in Calendar Year (CY) 2013, as it had been in the previous two years. According to World Bank data, GDP in South Asia, where India is a major contributor, slowed from 9.9% in CY10 to 4.6% in CY13. India’s GDP growth fell dramatically to an annualized rate to 4.7% in FY14 from the peak of 9.3% in FY11. The Index for Industrial Production (IIP) for FY14 contracted 0.1% as against a rise of 1.1% in the previous year, with the manufacturing sector’s output contracting 0.8% compared to a rise of 1.3% in FY13. Currently, economic indicators point to a revival of growth, as challenges such as the steep current account deficit, tight liquidity and high food inflation have subsided. Most important, a fresh political mandate at the Centre has resulted in some optimism in business. Measures to expedite project clearances, capital expenditure expansion and improved coordination between the Centre and the States are expected to improve implementation. With a stable government in place, experts foresee the economic recovery being investment-led and likely to set in once stalled public sector projects are given impetus by way of speedy approvals and clearances.

 

According to the World Bank, the Indian GDP is expected to deliver a 5% growth rate in FY15, discounting the risks of a deficient monsoon in 2014. GDP is expected to increase further to 6% in FY16, primarily on the back of improved industrial activity and the faster growth of the services sector.

 

 

MARKET OVERVIEW

 

India’s annual car sales continued their downward trend in FY14 for the second year in a row. According to SIAM, the total domestic automotive market grew by 3.53% YoY in FY14 against 2.6% in FY13, taking volumes to 18.4 mn units. The PV segment de-grew in FY14 for the first time in a decade. Low income growth due to high inflation coupled with persistently high interest rates impacted consumer sentiments and discouraged household spending on discretionary products such as automobiles. The cost of ownership, a key influencer for first-time buyers, increased owing to significant rise in fuel prices and high interest rates. These factors combined to hit the domestic PV segment, which registered a decline of 6.05% in FY14 against FY13.

 

The Commercial Vehicle (CV) segment was the worst affected with sales volumes declining by 20.23% across segments. The Two Wheeler segment emerged the strongest, with a 7.31% volume growth in FY14 as against FY13. Within this segment, the scooter sub-segment zoomed ahead with nearly 23% volume growth.

 

FY14 also witnessed a successful Auto Expo with close to 70 new product launches compared with 47 in FY13. New launches, particularly in the petrol segment, have done well as diesel prices continued to increase, thereby paving the way for petrol cars. This year, promotional initiatives such as lucrative financing schemes, heavy discounts and schemes to dealers were not able to revive demand or increase footfalls at showrooms. However, measures that worked for the industry in the last couple of years are new models/new product launches and dealership expansion. New launches have helped beat the demand slowdown, as demonstrated by some new brand launches this year, such as, Ford Ecosport, Honda Amaze, and Maruti Celerio.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Indian automotive industry is not only one of the highest contributors to the country’s GDP, but it also provides employment to millions of people, which creates a strong multiplier effect. The industry registered impressive growth during the last two decades. It was able to restructure itself, absorb new technology, align itself to global developments and realize its potential.

 

The cumulative foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow into the automotive industry from April 2000 to January 2014 was worth US$ 9,835 mn, according to data published by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Government of India.

 

India is emerging as one of the most attractive destinations for global outsourcing and as manufacturing base for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Contributing factors are primarily low manufacturing cost – typically 10-25% less than in Europe and Latin America – as well as India’s geographic proximity to key automotive markets like the Middle-East and Europe. Global automotive OEMs are gradually shifting their production facilities from North America and Europe to China, India and several South American countries chiefly because of availability of competitively priced labour and raw materials. According to the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) estimates, the Indian auto component industry is expected to reach a turnover of US$ 115 bn by 2020-21. As per India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), Drive Transmission and Steering Parts account for 19% of the total auto component industry’s volume. The year ahead is expected to be a crucial one for the Indian automotive industry as it looks to bounce back from two years of muted growth. Although the pre-election volume pick-up did not pan out as expected, the formation of a stable government at the Centre is expected to contribute to a positive sentiment translating to better economic growth and volumes for the industry. Some of the key growth triggers in the automotive sector include possible interest rate cuts as a result of stabilizing inflation, fall in crude oil prices, and pickup of industrial activity resulting from fast approvals and clearances. Leading OEMs are also expected to introduce a raft of models at competitive prices to spur consumer demand. The Interim Budget presented in February 2013 provided for reduction in excise duty on small cars, motorcycles, scooters and commercial vehicles from 12% to 8%. It also announced reduction in excise duty on SUVs from 30% to 24%. The duty concession has been extended in the Final Union Budget presented in July 2014 which is likely to boost automobile sales.

 

Rising disposable income and a sizeable young working population are the key drivers for the Indian automotive industry. The long-term outlook for this industry remains positive with major global players developing bases in India for manufacturing, global sourcing, as well as engineering. According to analysts, growth rate in the auto sector is expected to rise in FY15, primarily due to new product launches, a stable Central government, economic reforms, stabilizing inflation and the expected reversal in interest rate cycle.

 

 

OPERATIONS

 

Anticipating continued weakness in the domestic PV market, the Company has proactively diversified its products beyond PVs, to target new areas of growth. The Company also focused on developing new customers across the globe. The Company has maintained the thrust on research and development initiatives and innovated new products. Further, against a challenging economic backdrop, the Company focused on improving efficiencies.

 

During FY14, a total of Rs. 855.000 Millions of capital expenditure was undertaken towards relocation, backward integration and efficiency improvement. Sona Koyo will continue to invest in areas that will further make them more competitive.

 

To expand the focus and to grow beyond the PV market, the Company has decided to modify organization structure from PV-centric to one focused on multiple strategic business units (SBU).

 

The Company now has separate SBUs for 1) Passenger Vehicles 2) Off Highway and Commercial Vehicles 3) Pressure Die-casting and Sheet Metal 4) Technology and Development. All the SBUs are headed by industry veterans. The growth momentum in the indigenously-developed EPAM continued during FY14. EPAM, besides earning foreign currency, has also generated a higher profit margin. During FY14, the Company exported 22,827 units of EPAM resulting in a turnover of Rs. 393.200 Millions as against 10,564 units for Rs. 177.700 Millions in FY13. At present, three large US-based All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) manufacturers have expressed interest in this technology and requested samples. Domestically, the Company is in the process of adding another tractor manufacturer as a client for EPAM. Last year, the Company received product approval to deploy EPAM technology on an upcoming tractor model for a major Indian tractor manufacturer. The patented homegrown technology continues to create a strong competitive advantage for the Company, along with healthy margins. Sona Koyo will continue to focus on the off-highway vehicle segment and will undertake EPAM capacity expansion in near future.

 

FY14 was also a landmark year for the Company’s columns division. During this year, the Company secured new business from Isuzu. Isuzu plans to launch its first PV in the Indian market. Sona Koyo will supply columns for the first SUV that the OEM plans to launch in FY15. The Company has also secured Renault as a client and will supply columns for Renault’s Duster.

 

Sona Koyo has taken a new initiative to achieve manufacturing excellence through structural realignment of production lines and efficiency improvement. This will involve relocation of some manufacturing operations from Gurgaon to three plants in Dharuhera, also in Haryana; and one each in Sanand, Gujarat; and Chennai. The relocation of the Gurgaon facilities to Dharuhera is on track. Visible improvements in efficiency and profitability are expected once the relocation has been completed.

 

 

IMPROVING PROFITABILITY AND COMPETITIVENESS

 

FY14 was the only year in the last decade when PV volumes declined. Although the industry was shackled by depressed consumer sentiment, Sona Koyo chose to focus on improving profitability. During the year, various cost-reduction initiatives such as localization, focused cost cutting and value engineering helped boost the Company’s operational performance.

 

Sona Koyo’s consolidated EBITDA during the year expanded to 12.0% from 11.3% in FY13. The rise in operating profit was mainly driven by reduction in material cost due to localization, alternate sourcing, value analysis and value engineering (VA/VE) activities and actively working with suppliers. Raw material cost as a percentage of sales decreased from 70.2% in FY13 to 68.8% in FY14.

 

Sona Koyo continues to invest in various HR programs and in training employees to add value, enhance their morale and engagement, and to raise productivity. During the year, the HR department introduced group life-insurance cover of up to Rs.1.000 Million and a maternity benefit program. The HR department also undertook a study in association with the Hay Group to streamline jobs and to map job roles to compensation. Besides these initiatives, the department also organized training for shop floor supervisors at the Sona Skill Development Centre. The training is aimed at improving and enhancing the supervision and managerial qualities.

 

The Company has implemented MRP (Material Resource Planning) software in order to improve inventory management and to facilitate better and efficient communication with suppliers. The Company has also put in place the Remote Warehouse Management System to better track and manage inventory, which in turn will help them to reduce inventory carrying cost as well as to improve efficiency.

 

 

RECOGNITIONS

 

Awards from the industry, community and customers are testimony to an organization’s worth. Sona Koyo once again proved its commitment to excellence by earning recognition from the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) and major passenger vehicle OEMs. Sona Koyo’s continuing emphasis on research and development was recognized by ACMA’s “Award for Excellence in Technology – Large Category”. On the customers’ side, Tata Motors bestowed the Company with the Best Supplier 2013 award. Sona Koyo was also recognized as Best Vendor Support and Best Delivery by Toyota Kirloskar Motor Limited for its outstanding performance during FY14.
